scrotum
the sac that holds the testes
testis (pleural testes)
the organs that make sperm cells
epididymis
the series of hollow tubes that stores mature sperm cells
ductus (vas) deferens
the tubes sperm cells travel through during ejaculation, before the urethra. The sperm cells are suspended in salt water solution.
seminal vesicle
this gland secretes a sticky yellowish/whitish fluid which makes up about 60% of semen. The fluid enters the urethra via the ejaculatory ducts
urethra
transports urine from the bladder the outside of the body, and also transport semen from the reproductive organs to the outside of the body
ejaculatory duct
small paired tubes that carry sperm from the vas deferens and fluid from seminal vesicles into the urethra, they pass through the prostate gland.
bulbourethral gland
during arousal this gland secretes a small amount of slippery fluid into the urethra to neutralize any acidic urine and lubricate the glands
prostate gland
this gland secretes a thin, milky white fluid, which makes up about 30% of semen. This fluid enters the urethra as it passes through the prostate.
penis
made of 3 spongy tissue layers
the paired corpora cavernosa
single corpus spongiosum
glans of the penis
sometimes called the head, covered by a layer of skin called the foreskin.
bladder
the hollow sac that stores the urine formed in the kidney
spermatic cord
made up from ductus deferens, the testicular artery, and testicular veins. Travels from the testis of the scrotum, through the inguinal canal and into the abdominal cavity
ovary
the organ that makes oocytes (egg cells)
uterine tube
transports ovulated oocytes from the ovary to the uterus
uterus
a hollow structure that contains a thick layer of smooth muscle, and endometrium. Located in the pelvic cavity, but will expand into the abdominal cavity during pregnancy
myometrium
smooth muscle in the uterus
endometrium
tissue lining the smooth muscle in the uterus
fundus
the dome shaped superior aspect of the uterus
cervix
the narrow muscular opening to the uterus containing a sticky mucus to prevent the passage of bacteria and pathogens
broad ligament of the uterus
the “ligament” that is a fold of peritoneum that covers and supports the uterus
vagina
the hollow muscular tube that connects the uterus to the outside world, the external opening the vaginal canal is called the vaginal orifice
urethral opening
the walls of the vaginal canal secrete a fluid that lubricates the canal and orifice during sexual arousal
labia minora
two thin folds of skin that enclose the vaginal orifice and urethral opening
labia majora
two thicker folds of skin that enclose the labia minor and the glans of the clitoris
glans of the clitoris
structure containing a spongy erectile tissue
